ASH parted from William O'Brien at
the train last Tuesday, newsboy
rushed up with --latest edishun" that
told of the scheme of the Tory govern,
ment to lock up sixty-fiye Irish MEM
beers in Millbank prison. He laughed
and said: 1.-The only thing we are
afraid of is that they won't lock up
members enough" Few who do not
know the man personally can conceive
an idea of William O'Brien as he really
is. His fragile frame should never
lead one to think that next to Parnell
he is, perhaps, the most important
man in the Irish party. His long, thin
face, deep-set and piercing eyes flashing
out from behind spectacles, sharp feat
ures and quick, feverish walk show at
once the restless, fierce and enthusi-
astic character that has endeared him
in the Celtic heart. T. p. O'COnnor
says of him that had he been born in
Paris he would probably have been
found on the top of a barricade, or like
Armand Carvel, have persisted in a
political duel. He has had much sOr-
row in the past. Two of his brothers
and a sister died of consumption with
in a few days Of each other, and his
Imprisonment by Forster killed his
mother. He himself was threatened
with consumption, but fought it off by
a voyage to Egypt. He is very pious
and at one time thought Of entering
the church. The fire of his oratory is
the real fire from Olympus and he can
run the whole gamut of human emo
ton, He speaks without written prep
arations and the diction of his remarks
is very perfect. Of an affectionate,
loving nature, he is a great favorite
with all his colleagues of the Irish
party. His editorials hustle with cpl
gram, are scathing in sarcasm and
formidable in logic. While he is here
his paper, United HeLOnd. is being con-
Quoted by L. p. Gill, NJ. P. for South

John ]. Ingalls, lecture was a disap-
pointment to many of his hearers. His
flow of rhetoric, and mastery use and
command of pithy, huge and expressive
words, were up to the inimitable ingalls,
standard; his logic sufficient to suit
those already opposed to woman's suf-
frage, but too illogical to win converts
to his idea of thinking. His artesian
supply of sarcasm and sand-papered
irony was carefully kept under restraint,
but at times the acid would cause it to
boilover He opposed woman's suffrage,
but made no enemies in the manner in
which he conducted his line of argu-
ment. Woman was crowned the
queen of home" to the entire satisfac-
ton of those who are willing to
wear it. The crown was offered to
the others if they wished to accept.
Many of the ladies present thought
they could rightfully and womanly
wear it, even if they exercised the
right to vote that John j. ingalls,
crown was partially composed of thorns.
To sum the whole lecture up, it was a
defense of his vote on the 18th amend
ment, and John J. ingalls,, the bright
est Republican in the state can go to
the United States Senate again if he
wishes to, unless the Democrats weary
of the nagnanimity in the past, and
send one of the faithful in John Us.

If the Ohio University is really IN
need of a President and has turned its
imploring gaze toward the distin-
guished poulterer. Rutherford B..
Hayes, let us hope that the invitation
will be regular, and that in the event
of acceptance on the part of r. b. II.
there will be no counting in" We
could hardly recommend Mr.. Hayes as
the head of moral educational instl-
tutional, but it would be some salts
faction to his friends, no doubt, to find
him holding a Presidency which had
come to him in an honorable, just way.

General Jackson said in his farewell
address: "Various interests would
combine together to impose a heavy
tariff, and produce an overlooking
treasury" The history of tariff legiS-
lation from that day to this, verifes his
predictions.
The great corporations that have
grown up, and the wealthy individuals
engaged in manufacturing establish
ments, desire a high tariff in order to
increase their gain under the plausible
argument that they desire it to enable
them to pay their working men better
wages. Designing politicians support
it TO conciliate their favor and advance
profuse expenditures for the purpose of
purchasing influence in other quarters.
The revenue, no matter how raised,
unless it be- by direct tax on incomes,
must be drawn from the pockets of the
people-from the farmer, the mechanic,
the laboring classes, of the country
the consuming class. The excess not
required, cannot be returned to them,
the class who most need it, and who are
entitled to it 1t is, therefore, species
of legal robbery, forced loan never to
be returned, that few favored indi-
viduals may accumulate more than a
just share of the wealth of the country.
